Mathematics at Bathwick
St. Mary Primary School
AIMS
•To inform you about the Maths national
curriculum
•To tell you about Maths learning and
progression at School
•To show you ideas for helping at home
with Maths
Years 1-6 From September
2014…
Aims of the new curriculum for KS1
and KS2:
-To become fluent in the fundamentals
of mathematics and to be able to recall
and apply knowledge rapidly and
accurately
-To reason mathematically
-To solve problems by applying
knowledge
• There is an expectation that children
will master specific targets by the end
of each year.
What is covered at KS1?
• Numbers- place value, addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division
• Fractions
• Measurements
• geometry – positions, directions and shapes
• statistics
.
Targets to be met at the end of
each year:
e.g.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Year 1 –
count to and across 100,
use number bonds to 20,
Solve simple multiplication
and division problems
through grouping or sharing
recognise ½, ¼ ,
measure length, weight,
capacity,
tell time to hour and half
past,
name 2-d and 3-d shapes,
describe ¼ ½ and ¾ turns.
Year 2 – from 2015
• count in steps of 2,3,5,10
forwards and backwards,
• add and subtract 2 digit
numbers,
• know 2x, 5x, 10x tables,
• find ½ ¼ ¾ of a shape or
number,
• use money,
• tell the time to 5 minutes,
• recognise symmetry,
• construct tally charts and
compare data

Essential to have number knowledge: bonds and times
tables
Addition
1. Hands on addition
2. Pictorial addition/100square
3. The empty number line
2. Partitioning
3. Expanded method in columns
4. Column addition
Hands on and pictorial addition
• How can you make 5 using unifix?
• Put in hands- what happens if you swap
your hands over. Do you still have 5?
The empty number line
Partitioning
• 47+76 = 40+70+7+6=110+13=123
•
•
•
47 = 40 + 7
+76 = 70 + 6
110 + 13 = 123

•
13
20
• So 25-13 = 7+5 = 12
25
Partitioning
• Subtraction can be recorded using partitioning:
• 74 - 27 = 74 - 20 - 7 = 54 - 7 = 47

tables up to 12 x10
off by heart and
be able to use a
times table square
to help with others.

TESTS
KS1
• 1 arithmetic test (15minutes on number only)
• 1 test for mathematical fluency, solving
problems and reasoning (35minutes on
number, shapes, measures and statistics)
• Levels are not given. It is achieved or not
achieved.
• Mrs Bradley will give a SATS talk closer to
the time.
How you can help at home.
• Crucial that children practice times
tables and number bonds.
• Look for number in everyday
activities.
Make Maths fun to do… Play games:
snakes and ladders, darts, dominoes and
other games that depend on numbers,
counting, calculation and scoring.
Do some cooking. Use timers and clocks.
How you can help at home…
•
POCKET MONEY. Help them to add it up week by week, and work out
whether they can afford a particular toy or treat. Shop using money and
calculate change.
TIME. Look at clocks, both digital and analogue. Estimate how long a
certain activity will take to do and see if you are right! Work out how
long it is until the next mealtime. Play games: how long is a minute,
starting from now?
•
HOBBIES. If your child is car-mad, talk about
relative engine sizes, fuel economy, speed and
performance. Watch and play sports that involve
scoring, timing, counting, measuring.
CALENDARS AND DATES. Give your child a calendar to record special
occasions. Count the days in each month. Learn the poem 30days hath
September etc.
Creating a maths mind!
• Don’t say ‘I am no good at maths’ – a good role
model is very important, especially for girls.
• It is ok to make mistakes.
• Children who can manipulate their fingers
without looking, do better at maths. (show bunny
ears)
• Find the links to numbers in different ways. E.g.
5 can be shown in many different ways. Eg, on a
dice, on cards , roman numerals, 4+1, with
unifix.
• Ask questions about numbers.
Parent Booklets
• There is a parent booklet available for each
year group with some targets, questions
and activities that you can refer to.
• It includes calculation progressions for
addition, multiplication, subtraction and
division.
• It will be sent home with your child!
